    • New Tools for Forecasters: Real-Time Cross Sections Produced in the Field 

      Cahir, John J.; Norman, John M.; Lottes, Walter D.; Toth, John A. (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      Objective analyses on vertical cross sections are presented as examples of the type of real-time product available on the Penn State, Department of Meteorology, on-line minicomputer. The analyses are not new, but their ...

    • The NCAR Digital Barometer 

      Pike, Julian M.; Bargen, David W. (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      Atmospheric measurements are being made in rapidly growing numbers as a result of large-scale research program needs and increased operational requirements. Systems are now being deployed that are expected to operate ...

    • Errors in Wind Run Estimates from Rotational Anemometers 

      Baynton, Harold W. (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      It is common practice to compute wind run and mean wind by counting the total number of anemometer rotations in a measured time. The practice assumes that each turn of the rotor signifies the passage of a fixed run of wind. ...

    • Atmopspheric Measurements on Mars: the Viking Meteorology Experiment 

      Chamberlain, T. E.; Cole, H. L.; Dutton, R. G.; Greene, G. C.; Tillman, J. E. (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      The Viking Meteorology Experiment is one of nine experiments to be carried out on the surface of Mars by each of two Viking Landers positioned at different latitudes and longitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. The meteorology ...

    • A New Radar for Measuring Winds 

      Chadwick, R. B.; Moran, K. P.; Strauch, R. G.; Morrison, G. E.; Campbell, W. C. (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      A new radar technique for measuring winds in the lower atmosphere is discussed. It is an extension of the well-known FM-CW technique and has the same advantages of relatively low cost and high flexibility for a clear-air ...

    • The Variable-Path Lyman-Alpha Hygrometer and Its Operating Characteristics 

      Buck, Arden L. (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      A hygrometer capable of making in situ humidity measurements with good accuracy and excellent time-space resolution is described. Based on the absorption of Lyman-alpha radiation by water vapor, the instrument uses a ...

    • Overview of Regional-Scale Numerical Models 

      Randerson, Darryl (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      The general concept of a regional scale developed from the application of atmospheric pollution models to predict or diagnose air quality over air sheds. The regional scale is proposed to be the ?- and α-mesoscale subrange, ...

    • A Review of Hail-Measuring Instruments 

      Towery, Neil G.; Changnon, Stanley A.; Morgan, Griffith M. (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      The characteristics of commonly used surface hail instruments are reviewed and instruments evaluated. The instruments evaluated have been classified into two major categories: integrating and recording. The integrating ...

    • Aspects of Cumulonimbus Study 

      Ludlam, F. H. (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      Problems set by cumulonimbus clouds demand recognition of air motion on many scales and in three dimensions. Evolution of the storms and their precipitation depend essentially on the travel of particles across the air ...

    • Wave Patterns with an Alberta Hailstorm 

      Warner, C. (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      A transitory pattern of waves associated with an Alberta hailstorm is described. Aerial photographs are compared with radar and sounding data. The waves appear to have been gravity waves in a layer of marked stability ...

    • The Impact of Stratospheric Variability on Measurement Programs for Minor Constituents 

      Prinn, Ronald G.; Alyea, Fred N.; Cunnold, Derek M. (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      The scales of temporal and spatial variations in stratospheric minor species concentrations and dynamical quantities are briefly reviewed. Despite the fact that the stratosphere is often considered to he a very quiescent ...

    • Weather Modification and Three-Dimensional Mesoscale Models 

      Cotton, William R.; Pielke, Roger A. (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      The application of three-dimensional time-dependent models to weather modification experiments along with the ways in which mesoscale simulations may be used as an aid in clarifying and formulating the physical basis of a ...

    • Interactive Applications of Satellite Observations and Mesoscale Numerical Models 

      Kreitzberg, Carl W. (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      This paper outlines a mesoscale forecast system that could he implemented within a few years in spite of relatively sparse direct observations. Methods are discussed of using satellite information on large mesoscale features ...

    • Severe Local Storms 

      Atlas, David (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      This paper builds upon the findings of the previous authors (in this special session) and draws them together in an overall picture that highlights our concerns and focuses upon the critical problems. It offers a set of ...

    • Whence Global Climate: Hot Or Cold? an Essay Review

    • Winter Cyclone Frequencies over the Eastern United States and Adjacent Western Atlantic, – 

      Colucci, Stephen J. (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
      Analyses of winter cyclone frequency and deepening rates are presented for a 10-year period over the eastern United States and western Atlantic Ocean. Results are presented for 1° latitude-longitude quadrangles. The data ...

    • An Essay on Climate Dynamics 

      Gates, W. Lawrence (American Meteorological Society, 1976)
